They helped us pick a turf that would better suit our needs and were done with the work in 2 days. Everything looks amazing and I will absolutely be using them for future projects.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were looking for a landscape design and construction service for the backyard of our new home in Phoenix.  My wife found Diamond Stone & Synthetic Grass online, with good reviews, so we decided to get a quote from them.  The project manager, DANIEL, responded and did the measurement for our backyard.  He explained to us the materials and the labors.  And the most importantly, the grading to direct water out of the backyard and away from the foundation of the house. In the same afternoon, he sent us the quote, the detail measurement, and the selections of materials.  The quote is much better than what we expected, so we decided to hire them for this project.

While the construction is ongoing, Daniel always kept us updated.  We asked a lot of questions during the process, to prevent mistakes caused by misunderstanding.  Daniel and his team always responded in a timely manner.  The whole team is knowledgeable, friendly, and patient.  They took care of the questions and issues we brought up, and the project ends up awesome.  When I saw the outcome, I have nothing else to say but WOW.  There was a tiny hiccough that the paver was too close to the gate, causing it hard to close.  Once we brought it to Daniel's attention, his team showed up in two days and fixed it.  How can we not appreciate a team taking care of problems so quickly?

We are very happy that we chose DSSG to do our backyard.

I met with so many different companies, but knew almost immediately I’d go with them because of how Daniel communicated and made me feel confident in their work. The crew was very quick and professional as well. We got new turf installed and it looks amazing! Even after it was done, they have been communicating with me all the way. Great service and reasonable prices.

Let the kitchen belong to the whole outdoor space.

Plan outdoor kitchens around the way you want to use your Paradise Valley property.

Consider the kitchen beyond the countertop.

The view from your home

Look at the proposed island from the rooms and doors that face the yard. Its height, finish, and placement can influence the whole outlook, so review those relationships before the footprint is fixed.

A clear connection to dining

Decide where meals will be served and how guests will move between the table, lounge, and kitchen. A separate dining area can work alongside a serving counter when the paths and furniture clearances are planned together.

A restrained finish palette

Compare the island face, countertop, paving, and nearby architectural finishes as a group. A smaller set of coordinated materials can give the cooking area a clear relationship to the rest of the property.

Fit the kitchen to your Paradise Valley property.

Identify the parts of your landscape that already work well. An existing covered patio, planting area, or gathering space may influence where a kitchen belongs. Discuss what should remain and how the new work will meet retained surfaces so the finished area has a considered boundary.

The shape of the kitchen should follow the available space and the equipment you intend to use. Review preparation space, storage, access around the island, and the location of the dining area. A 3D rendering can help you discuss the proposed appearance before the installation scope is finalized.

Prepare for your consultation.

Views and existing features you want to preserve
Preferred island finish and counter materials
Cooking, preparation, storage, and dining needs
Connections to retained paving and utility access

Ask about 3D landscape renderings when you want to discuss the proposed appearance before installation.

Match the proposal to the complete installation.

Compare the proposed kitchen footprint, material selections, equipment, and preparation as one scope. Existing surfaces, site access, utility requirements, and surrounding landscape work can affect the project. Clarify any appliances, connections, or specialist services that are excluded rather than assuming they are part of the island installation.

Outdoor Kitchens in Paradise Valley: your questions

Can you coordinate the kitchen materials with my existing home?

Bring exterior photos and details of the paving, stone, or other finishes you want to retain. Review the proposed counter and island materials alongside those features, then confirm the selections in the project scope.

Can a kitchen be added without redesigning the entire yard?

Share the area you want to change and the parts you want to leave in place. Their condition, access, levels, and connections need to be reviewed so the proposal identifies a workable installation boundary.

Can a rendering help me compare the kitchen layout?

Ask about the 3D rendering service and the views included for your proposed project. A visualization can support discussion of the island position, finishes, and relationship to other outdoor features before construction.

How do I choose between a straight, L-shaped, or other island layout?

Begin with the equipment and activities you need to accommodate, then review the space around each option. Cooking, preparation, storage, seating, and access all influence whether a particular shape is suitable for your property.

What determines the scope of an outdoor kitchen in Paradise Valley?

The selected equipment, dimensions, finish materials, existing conditions, access, and required preparation all matter. Discuss your priorities and budget, and ask how any utility work or related patio improvements would be handled in the proposal.

My husband and I are so happy with the work that was done on my yard. In the backyard I had pavers put in around my porch. In the front yard I had turf, driveway extension and paver boarder installed. They show up on time and did a beautiful job, my yard looks like a work of art. I had what I wanted pictured in my head, Mike and his team brought it to life. They also did an excellent job cleaning up afterwards since the demo made a big mess. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for quality work, great communication every step of the way and friendly knowledgeable service. They also helped with my nightmare of an HOA which took a lot of stress off of me! I would give 10 stars if I could.

We got a few different quotes and went with them because they were confident in a variety of different projects we needed done in our backyard. We added Turf, retaining wall, and pavers. They ended up adding some much needed drainage as well. Everything was done quickly and we’re very happy with all their work, will be using them again for the front yard

Joshua Wright

Detail oriented, quick turn around times and quality work. Very pleased with the work they did.

Mike was very communicative and was available anytime I had a question! They do free estimates and are able to help with so many different projects!

🌿 🙌 This company truly stands out for their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care for the community. I was so impressed with how accommodating their hours are—when I called on a Saturday, I was immediately connected with Mike, a very friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous professional in the landscaping industry. Mike took the time for an immediate phone consultation and advice to clearly explain their process and service offerings. He not only provided details on procedures, pricing, and even shared a link to the supplier of the cleaning products they use. 😊🌍 If you’re looking for a landscaping company that combines professionalism with genuine concern for the people they serve, I highly recommend them! 🙌 🌿

Diamond Stone did an exceptional job on our backyard. We had quotes from a few companies and this company gave us the most competitive price and spent the most time talking about different options with the yard. Communication was consistent throughout the whole process, and Daniel was an awesome project manager. The crew working on the yard were top notch as well. There was one hiccup with the wrong sized rocks being sent, but Daniel handled it and quickly resolved the issue. I would definitely recommend Diamond Stone.

We are beyond thrilled with the transformation of our Arcadia backyard by Diamond Stone & Synthetic Grass! We recently had them install a combination of synthetic grass, rock, and pavers, and the results are absolutely stunning. My husband handled the initial arrangements, and from the very first call, the experience was seamless. The team was incredibly responsive and genuinely cared about the vision we had for our project. During the entire project they were attentive to every detail, which gave us a lot of confidence moving forward. The installation crew was equally impressive. It was clear they were experienced and used to working together—they were efficient, careful, and knocked out the project quickly without sacrificing quality. We’ve got some work to do to fill the planters with Desert Steel cacti but check out the photos! The best part? Seeing our grandsons finally able to run around and play. Before this, they weren't even allowed in the backyard because it was just dirt. Now, it’s a beautiful, functional space where we’ve spent the last few weeks entertaining and enjoying our family in a whole new way. Thank you, Diamond, for giving us a backyard we truly love!

Mike and his team did an excellent job landscaping our backyard. The scheduling, consultation, work, final walkthrough, and payment process was seamless. We had artificial turf, paverstone walkway, paverstone outdoor living area, and gravel installed. Everything is clean, symmetrical, level, and eye catching. Mike and his crew also left a clean worksite when the job was done. Highly recommend Diamond Stone and Synthetic Grass.
